Ubiquiti Security Gateway - Is there a software version

@Dashrender said in Ubiquiti Security Gateway - Is there a software version:
An non centrally controlled AP seems more consumer class to me. I'm sure there are other enterprise vendors who have them, but it seems to be going backwards.
Though I suppose since the EdgeMax switches are supposed to be managed by SNMP, the AP could be the same.
None of the EdgeMax stuff has a central controller. I don't think that makes it consumer class. Even if they just added the EdgeOS interface and OS to the AP. That would make it more expensive, but you could manage it directly from the AP.
IMO, needing to set up a full VM or installing a large program on your Windows machine, just so you can set configs in an AP isn't necessarily moving forward either.
They do, though, they have SNMP as their central controller. They are designed to fit into a larger, multi-vendor, third party central controller scheme.

Then if you have a Zabbix server you can monitor stuff using snmp

Sorry, meant an application created by them as a controller.

@Dashrender said in Ubiquiti Security Gateway - Is there a software version:
You already have this, it's the phone app.
Not what I mean. I mean Needing another device to manage another device isn't moving forward. I don't need anything else to manage an EdgeSwitch or EdgeRouter (other than a browser or SSH). I would need either their controller software or the phone app to manage the APs.
-
I this this as a double edged sword. If you're in a setup that's so small as to only need one or two - the then phone app is probably ample, but if you have more than a 2, then moving to a controller makes complete sense to me.
But I can see you point as well. You have an ER-X and a single AP, you want to just have an easy time managing them both from CLI.

Right. It's not a big deal, just something that would be nice to have. I only have 2 APs at home but I have an ERL and EdgeSwitch.
I could be the only one, but I like the EdgeOS interface a lot.

GUI, CLI is the same I think (Never used a USG, the cli on the APs is really limited and not the same).

It has 900% more than the Unifi controller interface has.

Ah ok. I'll stop pretending like I know what's going on with it. I only have APs so I never see the other parts of it. I'm just basing that off of the VLAN info and networking info from the controller parts I use. They looked really limited.

exactly - they really need to add more to the unifi controller interface - or whatever... that crazy issue where if you had a static IP and tried to use VPN it failed in a boot loop.. only through using a JSON file on the controller could you get around it, and even so it still wasn't fully the way you wanted it.

What additional features can be setup with just the AP? Anything cool/useful?
